Wuling is young and entangled, and I don't know how many red silk songs are played.

The silver grate of the head is shattered, and the blood-colored skirt is stained with wine.

This year's laughter will be next year, and the autumn moon and spring breeze will be leisurely.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Ruzhen has been in this green building for three years, she has never suffered any hardships, she has not suffered any crimes, and she is already the most beautiful and popular singer in the whole building at a young age.

She was only fourteen years old that year, but she had already tasted the pain and sorrow of the world, but no matter how hard and difficult it was, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

But this is the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, not a place for people to stay and play the temper of the eldest lady, Ye Ruzhen has to do it if she wants to, and if she doesn't want to do it, she has to do it, and those princes and princes Li Gongzi are waiting in line for her to receive them.

The mother in charge drugged the tea that Ye Ruzhen drank, Ye Ruzhen was forced to lose her own life, it is ridiculous to say, sometimes people can't make choices in life, no matter how much you want to fight, how much you want to escape, but you can't escape.

The mother in charge smiled and walked in front of Ye Ruzhen with a plate of gold ingots, Ye Ruzhen looked at the money but couldn't smile at all, how she used to be eager to have a lot of money to cure A-Niang's illness, and longed for a lot of money to get her family out of the bitterness of life.

But now she only feels pain and sadness when she sees this money, if she can't make a choice in life, what else does she want this money for?

"Xiao Ru! Let me tell you, this time Wang Gongzi likes you very much, you see that he gave so many gold ingots. The mother in charge Wang smiled and came to Ye Ruzhen, who was sitting at the round table, and said.

"I don't want these things!" Ye Ruzhen looked at the glittering gold ingots and shouted angrily.

"What stupid thing is this girl talking about? How many people want this gold ingot? The mother in charge Wang walked up to Ye Ruzhen with a smile on her face, and said in a good voice.

Ye Ruzhen suddenly felt a feeling of nausea surging up her throat, and she yelled angrily at Wang's mother: "I don't want these things!" Then he got up from the wooden bench and swept all the gold ingots on the wooden table to the ground with his arms.

"Crackling" gold ingots were sprinkled on the ground, and Wang's mother was so anxious when she saw those gold ingots falling: "You dead girl!" That's a lot of money! How much gold and silver jewelry can you buy, and the title deed of the house! How can you say don't want it! After saying that, he immediately ran to the spilled gold ingots, squatted down and slowly picked them up.

While picking it up, he said distressedly: "You don't want it, I want it!" After speaking, he picked them up one by one and held them in his hands.

Because of her sadness and anger, Ye Ruzhen's whole person was cold and completely devoid of heat.

She yelled at Wang's mother, "Get out! Get out of here! ”

Mother Wang immediately ran out of the door with those gold ingots, and scolded in a low voice: "Little cheap hoof, without me, you would have today?" ”

Ye Ruzhen felt that she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe, she stumbled to the wooden bench and sat down, leaning on the front half of the wooden table and shivering.

If you want to live in such pain, you might as well die!

So I remembered the white silk in my wooden box, a trip to the mountain, a trip to the water, life is just a big play, if you want to say it seriously, no one is better than anyone.

Her hand holding Bai Aya trembled a little, and she was afraid, and bitter tears crackled down her eyes.

"A-Niang, Xiaoru is looking for you now. Daddy doesn't want me anymore, Auntie, you can't want me anymore! As she spoke, she threw the white silk at the sorghum.

She slowly stepped on the wooden stool, tied the white silk in a knot, and muttered: "A-Niang, I will come to look for you immediately." ”

After saying that, she stepped on the stool and closed her eyes, she felt as if her throat was about to be cut, and the breath in her chest could not be breathed, so painful, so uncomfortable.

It's better than the pain when you were bullied by Zhang Fugui, and it's better than the pain when you were abandoned by your father.

Gradually, she seemed to see a beam of light shining on her, and a man smiled at her in the light, and stretched out his palm to her.

"Xiaoru, come with me! A-Niang is here to pick you up. ”

She was about to stretch out her hand when suddenly a splash of herbal tea spilled on her face, and she suddenly woke up, coughing and panting.

She opened her eyes and saw Wang's mother's angry eyes looking at her upright, and then scolded: "You cheap hoof! I spent so much money to raise you to be what you are today! You're going to look for life and death? What kind of place are you and I here?! ”

Ye Ruzhen raised her gray eyes and looked at the vicious woman in front of her, obviously she was also born in the Qinglou Oiran and had the same background as herself, why did she become like this now? Time and the world have created people, turning a living person into a dead person, and carving you into another picture with a bright knife.

"Come on! Lock her up for seven days and starve her! I don't believe that she doesn't beg me for mercy! After speaking, he ordered the two big men beside him to drag her to the firewood room.

The room was small, smelly, and dark, but Ye Ruzhen was not afraid at all, because the environment in which she lived when she was young was almost like this.

Even hunger is like a daily routine, and when you are hungry, you don't feel that hunger is a pain.

Later, she was still forced to pick up customers, and she searched for death and life many times, but she was still rescued, and she remembered her father's words again in a trance.

"It's better to go like this than to live in such pain."

And so it went for another two years.

Sometimes, life is a quagmire where you think you can get out of it if you struggle a little, but in fact, the more you struggle, the deeper you sink.

Ye Ruzhen felt that she was extremely dirty and disgusting.

But she couldn't change anything.

In that year, there was another outbreak of epidemic in Changsheng Town, which made the whole city panic, and many poor people who slept on the streets died on the side of the road because they were sick and no one treated them.

Business in the building has also plummeted, and several sisters in the building have symptoms of the epidemic, but they don't want to say anything, and they are afraid that they will be thrown on the side of the road, like those corpses that are gradually decomposing under straw mats, covered in pus and festering.

Later, a few days later, the sick sisters in the green building were wrapped in straw mats and thrown out, but not on the bleak roadside, but on a deserted, overgrown mass grave.

Look! Life is full of surprises, and it will always be different from what you expected.

Ye Ruzhen has also started to have some cough and fever recently, the symptoms are the same as the epidemic, the housekeeper Wang's mother saw Ye Ruzhen's pale face and was sure that she also had the epidemic, the business has been so bad recently, she doesn't want to have another life, where is the beautiful girl, as long as you look for it well, you can always find a few good places to replace Ye Ruzhen, and Ye Ruzhen has earned her a lot over the years, and the ten taels of silver that year have become tens of thousands of times.

On this day, Ye Ruzhen's body was really uncomfortable, and as soon as she walked out of the house, she suddenly fainted in front of her, and Wang's mother immediately sent someone to wrap Ye Ruzhen in a broken straw mat and wanted to throw it out.

Seeing Ye Ruzhen being carried out, Mother Wang rolled her eyes and said to herself: "I don't want my building to go out of business!" ”

Ye Ruzhen was carried out of the Qinglou, thinking that she would also be thrown into the mass grave with her sisters, but she didn't expect that the big men who were in charge of transporting her encountered a funeral team walking on the street, so they threw Ye Ruzhen on the side of the road in fright.

Where did those big men dare to carry those who were sick with the epidemic by themselves, and they wished they were hiding ten feet away, and when they saw the funeral procession, they felt frightened and taboo. Then he threw Ye Ruzhen at will, anyway, there are so many people who died due to the epidemic on the side of the road, and no matter how many others will find out.

Look at that! Life is full of surprises, Ye Ruzhen thought that she would be thrown into a mass grave, but this time she was thrown on the side of the road at will.

It was that time that she ran into Mo Jiu, who was going out to buy some food.

Why is his name Mo Jiu? Because the surname of the person who rescued him many years ago was Mo, and he was the ninth in the family, and others called him Xiao Jiu, so he named himself Mo Jiu, so that when he thought of his name, he could always remember the kindness of that person to him.

Ye Ruzhen thought that she was going to die on the side of the road like this, just like those pus and rotting corpses, but she didn't expect that she didn't die, and she met that person.

He was seventeen years old, dressed in a gray coarse cloth garment, with three large puddings of different colors at the shoulders, and a worn ragged hole in the cloth, clear eyebrows, and gentle eyes.

She coughed violently from the broken straw mat, turned over and fell outside the straw mat, Mo Jiu ran to her side, squatted down and asked her, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" Are you okay? ”

Ye Ruzhen didn't answer, she only felt a splitting headache, a fever all over her body, and then fainted as soon as it was dark in front of her.

When I woke up again, I was covered with a warm quilt, and there was an old smell rushing towards me, and there were many patches on the quilt, and there were many tattered holes.

Although it was a little tattered, Ye Ruzhen felt very warm.

"You're awake." Mo Jiu's voice sounded, and his voice was very gentle, like a March spring breeze gently caressing Ye Ruzhen's face.

Ye Ruzhen sat up on the bed, looked at him sideways, nodded blankly, and replied, "Where am I?" Am I not dead? ”

Mo Jiu walked in front of her with a bowl of fragrant and hot rice soup, and the steaming water vapor of the rice soup floated in the air, intermittently, which was a taste that Ye Ruzhen was very familiar with.

Just like more than ten years ago, when A-Niang was still there, she often drank the taste.

"This is my house, I saw you on the side of the road, and when I saw that you weren't dead, I picked you up." Mo Jiu said to Ye Ruzhen with a smile.

Ye Ruzhen's eyelashes drooped and murmured, "Didn't I have an epidemic?" ”

Mo Jiu smiled and shook his head, put the broken porcelain bowl in his hand that was no longer hot, and put it on Ye Ruzhen's hand, and said, "You are not suffering from an epidemic, it is an ordinary disease, you have a fever." ”

Ye Ruzhen held the broken porcelain bowl in her hand with both hands, and felt that the warmth suddenly spread from her hands to her heart, and her heart seemed to be starting to get hot.

Suddenly, my nose was sore, and I felt like crying.

His eyes turned red all of a sudden, and Mo Jiu saw Ye Ruzhen's red eyes, and hurriedly comforted: "What's wrong?" Isn't there something uncomfortable again? ”

Ye Ruzhen lowered her head and looked at the rice soup in the bowl, thick and white, with a little ripple, and her heart was quiet and steady.

She shook her head and said to Mo Jiu with a smile: "I just feel that this bowl of rice soup is very warm. ”

"Well, it's cold, you drink it quickly, otherwise it won't taste good if it's cold." Mo Jiu looked at the girl in front of him who was about the same age as him, and somehow his heart began to feel astringent.

Maybe it's because I saw a trace of gloom in her eyes, just like the one in my own eyes back then, it was so familiar.

"Hmm." Ye Ruzhen answered, so she picked up the rice soup and drank it, she felt a heat from her throat to her heart.

It was as if the heart, which had been frozen for many years, began to melt little by little, slowly becoming warmer.

She called him Brother Mo, Mo Jiu smiled and said: "Don't call me Brother Mo, I also knew a Brother Mo before, who is my great benefactor, if you want to call me, call me Brother Jiu!" ”

Ye Ruzhen nodded with a smile, and responded, "Got it, Brother Nine." ”

Mo Jiu didn't ask where Ye Ruzhen came from, because he knew that many times asking the reason again would be tantamount to revealing someone's wounds, a blur of flesh and blood, except for pain and tears, there would be nothing left.

may be because he has experienced too much sadness and pain, so his heart has become extraordinarily soft, and people have become extremely gentle.

This kind of gentleness completely wrapped Ye Ruzhen, like a big quilt warming her, making her feel very relieved.

Except for A-Niang, no one in this world has been so kind to her for a long time, and she unconsciously fell in love with Mo Jiu.

There are many children around Mo Jiu who have been picked up by him, the youngest is five years old, and the oldest is thirteen years old, and they like to revolve around Mo Jiu and Ye Ruzhen every day.

A mouthful of Brother Mo, Sister Ye's call, the call is very affectionate, Ye Ruzhen likes those children, looking at them, it is like seeing the former self, the self who has suffered countless hardships.

But the light in their eyes was even brighter than their own at that time, perhaps because they met Mo Jiu earlier than themselves.

The youngest boy is called Zhou Meng, five years old this year, although he is only five years old, but he is sensible like an adult, he often runs to Ye Ruzhen with a smile and raises his fleshy little face, with a pair of big watery eyes, long and thick eyelashes, looking at Ye Ruzhen affectionately called: "Sister Ye!" Sister Ye! ”

Ye Ruzhen squatted down, level with him, wrapped his big hands around Zhou Meng's two small hands and asked with a smile: "Mengmeng, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhou Meng blinked his eyes, smiled at Ye Ruzhen in a childish voice and said, "Sister Ye, I have discovered a secret. ”

Ye Ruzhen bent her eyes, smiled and nodded Zhou Meng's nose and asked, "What did Meng Meng find?" It's so mysterious. ”

Zhou Meng ran to Ye Ruzhen's ear, covered his lips with his hand, and whispered, "Sister Ye, I found out that Brother Nine likes you." ”

Ye Ruzhen didn't believe her ears a little, because of the shock, the whole person didn't come back to her senses.

"Huh?" Ye Ruzhen was stunned.

Zhou Meng continued: "Brother Jiu hid a hairpin, I asked him who he wanted to give it to, and he told me that he wanted to give it to you. ”

After hearing this, Ye Ruzhen's heart beat fast, and her face turned red all of a sudden.
